If have tested mounting nfs partitions mode hard,intr and transfered 
kernel bitkeeper repos between systems running combinations of recent

My current linux related activities in rough order of priority:
- Testing of Swsusp for 2.4
- Learning 2.5 kernel debugging with kgdb - it's in the -mm tree
- Studying 2.5 serial and ide drivers, ACPI, S3

The 2.5 kernel could use your usage. More info on setting up 2.5 kernel at
